How much time do you spend talking with your spouse each week? Couples therapists say it's important to have time together to connect, and to have conversations that aren't about kids or household chores.
Schedule a "date night," even if it's just a little down time in the living room after the kids are in bed. Write your date nights on your calendars and stick to the date night plans.
If your relationship is troubled, don't spend date nights trying to solve your problems. Instead, build up a fund of positive experiences by finding things to do that you both enjoy. Schedule separate time for relationship talks and therapy. Everyone needs to relax, and your spouse deserves your full attention.
